Kevin Feige Rejected Flying Car Chase Scene inWinter Soldier
In a previous version of Fury’s (Samuel L. Jackson) car chase scene inCaptain America: The Winter Soldier,there was an idea that his car would fly.
ButKevin Feige, the head of Marvel Studios, rejected this idea with the statement,“There are no flying cars in the Marvel Universe,”putting an end to that concept. As perMCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios:
“It was going to take off in the air, and it was going to become an airborne chase. Then Kevin said, ‘There are no flying cars in the Marvel Universe,’ and that was the end of that.”
This idea was visualized by a pre-visualization (pre-viz) company that was established in 2004 by a team of visual effects artists who collaborated onStar Wars: Revenge of the Sith.
Pre-viz (a pre-visualization company) was used to test and eliminate the ideas that didn’t work out. Marvel’s reliance on pre-visualization (pre-viz) was made for more complex action sequences and improved the movie production process. But, it also garnered criticism that the studio had become a factory-like operation.

Why Did Kevin Feige Reject Samuel L. Jackson’s Flying Car Chase Scene inWinter Soldier?
Kevin Feige might not have included the flying car chase scene inCaptain America: The Winter Soldierto maintain the Marvel Universe’s style.
Marvel’s approach to action sequences is based on comic book traditions, which feature characters with superhuman abilities. While Marvel films often include great elements, they also maintain a certain level of consistency within their fictional universe.
So this means that the portrayal of superpowers is carefully integrated into the narrative. And that is why, to ensure that they align with the established rules of the Marvel Universe, Feige probably would have rejected the idea.
